Brown, New Dean by MARY AMIDON Darlene Brown, Dean of Women and Panhellenic advisor, was quite ex- cited with her new post and first job. The university has created a whole new dimension to my lite; it's really funny because I've found myself as being contentf' She was a 1973 graduate of the Uni- yer: y of errnont where she received A Masters in Education majoring in student personnel in higher education. Previously Brown attended Ohio Unie versity where she received a BS in journalism. Dari 1t? remarked her education he- mme ntuCh more r ii to her because she used it in h ioh whether it. be exprr-asint; my f on paper or deal- ing with pecplef HYet i've learned more in four months as Dean of Women an I learn in two years of graduate school. Lihm, the sign of balance and opti- under which she was born, Characterized Brown's attitude. It takes THC a long time to make a deci- sion because I weigh the alternatives and consequences against one an- other she ewlmnett, but when i reach a dc stnn i'rn confident it was the right thing to do. miam, Mary is it iournaiiun sophomore. a Greek numbers i by BARBARA MCREYNOLDS FRATERNITY membership rose taking a 15 percent jump nationally over 72's member- ship. UK's fraternities followed this trend in pledging more men 'this school year than they had in number of years. Approximate- ly 550 Greek men were added to the roster, 325 pledging in the fall, and 225 in the spring. Danny Bullock, vice-president of lntrafraternity Council, was in- strumental in increasing the fra- ternity numbers. Following the theme, Forget everything you already think you know about UK's 21 fraternities. See them as they really are, Bullock orga- nized the '74 Spring Rush Kick- Off Dance. To the music of APOCRYPHA, fraternity men met several hundred interested rush- ees. , The results were quite satisfy- ing. The Kick-Off Dance took the edge off of introductions at indi- vidual fraternity houses and made rush more personaliied. Through rush, Greek men were getting together again. Bullock said it very well in a brief speech at the Kick-Off Dance, Meet old n-crease by 1504 friends ones. Sorority membership also en? joyed an increase during the past few years and this year was no exception. t Four hundred fifty women moved into their dorms for rush a week before the fall term be- gan. Members of alI T14 sororities assisted the rushees in moving in. Later in the day,. an open house for the rushee's parents and an introduction to the Pan- hellenic Council was heId. The next day rushees attended a Jersey Swap where each Greek girl swapped Jerseys with a girl in another sorority. Entertaining skits were presented in the Alum- and ,make some new ' ni Gymnasium by a representative from each sorority. Open houses, parties, preference night and pledging filled the rest of the week. ' . ' Spring rush was less structured and more relaxed. Rushingiwas more personalized with fewer girls participating. The schedule of events was basically the same, though on a smaller scale. f
